Can I still make money by opening an express station now? For this industry, many people are waiting and watching. They feel that 365 days a year is very hard. I heard that the express delivery industry has very serious fines, but they don’t know that the number of parcels in our country has been rising steadily. The country has just announced an increase of 0.1 yuan per package. The market will only go better in the future.
The later you enter the market, the more difficult it is to make money. Nowadays, there are more and more express post stations. If you have the idea of opening post stations, hurry up, the threshold will only be higher in the future. But it’s not that simple to open a courier station. There are many doorways and pits.
In this issue, let’s talk about it. If wants to open an express station and finds that there is already an express station nearby, can it still be opened?
1. Preliminary investigation work
When it is difficult for one station to carry the number of packages within an area, it is entirely possible to open a second station. But don't choose a brand under the express delivery, because the competitive relationship of the delivery will prevent the store from having too much parcel collection.
It is recommended that before deciding to be an express station, carefully study the market to determine whether the number of packages nearby can support the second one. For example, before opening a store, go to an existing station to get an overview of the situation and observe how many items they can receive each day, how many items they can send, and how much the unacceptable express delivery margin can reach.
Then it is recommended to go to the courier brother or courier outlets near the community to find out the total amount of express delivery in this area or nearby areas. By the way, let’s talk about the business expenses. If you open another station, can you connect to the parcel business? How to calculate the collection and delivery fees?
In this way, you have a rough outline of your package and revenue after opening the inn. A normal post station has a daily parcel volume of about 300. If the parcel volume in the community reaches 7,800, it can fully support two post stations.
2. There is already a courier station
If the package volume is large,A courier station cannot meet the needs of residents in the community, and it can be entered, as long as the amount of parcels is sufficient during the investigation. But pay attention to the following two points.
1. Change a brand to settle in
Generally, any station brand is protected by area, that is, multiple stations cannot be opened in the same area to avoid competition between two stores of the same brand.
Some brands have a protection range of 500 meters, and a second store cannot be opened within 500 meters. This range also covers the radius of an ordinary community. If you want to open another one, you can check it out in the neighborhood next door.
2. Get enough courier resources
The parcels of the express station need to be matched and communicated by yourself, otherwise the courier brother will not automatically send the package to the door after opening the station.
If the existing station has cooperation with all express brands, it will be difficult to open up the market. If you have only cooperated with a few express delivery companies, then you can connect with other express delivery brands through your own efforts. In order to grab express delivery resources more quickly, a half-price discount can be made two weeks before the opening, and the agency fee is only half price. After two weeks, the business will become familiar and the relationship will be familiar, and the business will naturally proceed smoothly.
Another thing to note is that the address you choose should not be too close to the existing post. On the one hand, users are easy to make mistakes, and on the other hand, too close to each other may mean robbing each other's business, which is likely to cause conflicts.
3. There are already two or more post stations
If there are two express post stations on the side of the community at the same time, and you still want to open one in the surrounding area, it is not practical. Because the pressure of competition between the two express delivery stations is already considerable, it will be difficult to open another one to open the market. It is difficult for you to properly match the delivery resources, and the competition is also great, which is not conducive to the subsequent operations of the store.
4. Choose the right station brand
Since you have chosen to be the station industry, you must investigate the market more.The choice is yours. When choosing a location, it is recommended to check a few more points and be sure to identify a suitable store location. , from the early site selection to the meticulous guidance throughout the opening process, to the subsequent customer service, all require us to carefully manage.
Take Panda Express downstairs as an example, the boss has been doing this for more than 6 years. After chatting with the boss, he learned that: the early site selection and the docking of express resources are all done in person Running. I also compared a number of softwares. This company’s SMS notification fee is relatively low, and there is no need for SMS notification after WeChat notification, which is more cost-effective.
After the opening of the store, it has also increased the retail and physical ticket business, and is also very enthusiastic about our residents. Therefore, I like to go to this store to buy things.
